You cannot access projects in Project Center view in Project Server (919488)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Project Server 2003
  • Microsoft Project Server 2002

SYMPTOMS

You can use a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to connect to the Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 Web site from the extranet. However, when you try to access projects in Project Center view, the project server name of the URL redirects to the NetBIOS name of the server. Therefore, you cannot access the projects.

CAUSE

This issue occurs when the following conditions are true:
  • The Project Server SharePoint configuration points to the NetBIOS name for the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) server instead of to the FQDN.
  • The FQDN nomenclature is not used when you specify the name of the WSS server in the Project Server configuration.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use the WinHTTP Default Proxy Configuration Tool to add the FQDN to the bypass list. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
  2. Type Proxycfg -d -p * "<local>; servername of WSS; FQDN of WSS; ipaddress of WSS", and then press ENTER.
  3. At the command prompt, type iisreset, and then press ENTER. The iisreset command stops and then restarts Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).
